Subject: RE: Tech: website for the blind, easy or not?
Hello all,
Just read through the suggestions, and they all sound great. I'm totally blind and about 99.9% of websites are readable to me. (At least the ones I've encountered. **Use alt-text on images, please please please** so that the text-to-speech doesn't indicate a link called imgsrc equals s45whdc53210452 (arrrrrgh!!!) or somesuch, and keep down the moving graphics and mouseover scripts, etc. and you basically have the right idea.
Also, contact blind friends or acquaintances (pm me if you like :) ) and let us have a check so we can make sure it's all nice and blind-friendly. :)
